THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Batman doesn't really have a huge scope at all. There's a dude doing some bad stuff in Gotham City and Batman is going to stop him.
The trailer uses the word "epic" but it's not literally an epic, it's epic the way that killer epic triple-decker fried sandwich I just made was epic.

I never really paid much attention to the build up before The Dark Knight, I just waited and watched the movie. Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury this time around, since I've been looking for info on this one pretty much ever since walking out of that theater after TDK.
So far it looks like almost everything makes sense. Bane appears to be played true to form. In the comics he put Gotham through hell and broke everyone out of Arkham just to make Batman run a gauntlet so he could analyze him and wear him down. That kind of sounds at least a little terroristy to me, so them labeling him as such is spot on in my book.
I'm just wondering about the scenes that appear to be in Santa Prisca prison (or Peña Dura prison, or whatever they call it for the movie). The rest of the trailer makes sense, but then we see an older (or at least scruffier) Wayne there. I thought, okay, maybe this happens after he is aware of Bane, and he's trying to get a read on him the same way Bane presumably read him. Then later on, you see a brief glimpse of armed units rappelling into what looks like the same set. That makes me wonder.
I did read one minor Bane "spoiler" that I really liked, if true.
Pure Supposition: I get the sinking feeling they will establish a previous connection between Wayne and Bane. Possibly during his pre-Batman slow crawl through the world's worst prison systems, Wayne ran afoul of pre-Bane's plans for revolution and had to Keysi fighting method him into submission, prison riot ensued. Years later, Bane (after some upgrades/hate) escapes and does the whole terrorist leader shtick, bringing the game to Gotham specifically because he deduced that Batman and Wayne were one in the same in the interim and wanted to break him as he was broken.

Supposedly, this Bane isn't mainlining steroids the whole time, but is instead receiving anesthetic gas through his mask to deal with pain from an earlier injury. If nothing else, it might at least give a hint on how Batman may beat him. I do like that angle on the character though.
